I do not believe in Karma, and by Karma I assume you mean the Buddhist definition of course, and not the pop culture version.
Here is why I don't believe in Karma, I will use it by comparing it to yahoo answers. In yahoo answers you earn points (karma) based on how good your answer is. You lose points when you do things like ask a question, and other such things. The problem with the Buddhist definition of Karma is that Buddhism doesn't acknowledge God, therefore they have no objective good or bad, just a subjective good or bad that changes through out society. Now the existence of God is another hot issue, but for this answers lets avoid debating this.
Anyways back to Yahoo answers, in Yahoo answers there is a decider of what is considered good or bad, there is a decider of what earns points or deducts points, in the Buddhist conception there is no decider, so what is the difference between good Karma and Bad Karma?

I have no doubt that you can quote verses from certain chapters in the Bible which appear to support the idea of Karma (Psalms 121; Matthew 16;17; Mark 8; Luke 9; John 9; Galatians 6;Revelations 3). Unfortunately these quotes are in support of the Biblical message that sin and death were negated by Christ for those who are Christians.

I don't believe in a supernatural state of karma, but I certainly believe in cause and effect.

I don't. But I don't really think I have to explain myself. Why, do you believe in Karma?

Depends on what you mean. I believe that you get what you put out there in this lifetime, but not necessarily in terms of punishment per se. So I do believe that you reap what you sow, but in this physical lifetime. I do not believe you come back in your next life still paying for crimes in a previous life.

The question is -given two choices (1) does one pay for all one's "Sins" ,say even in this birth itself or atleast would one's conscience "Prick" for bad actions? (2) or would one "shift" all one's sins on the Soul and fragile body of some Samaritan,-benevolent, kind -serene,poised, honest,Saintly Godlike person ,who underwent enormous pain and agony when he was tortured to death for no fault of His,except He preached what He felt right? and then THE One jolly well whistling and committing more sins because one is told that "some body else" is there to take on Him all the sins,one commits?

I do not believe in Karma. I believe you can do something good or bad and never get "repaid" for it.

Me, me, pick me, *bounce*
I believe in God's eternal justice.
Karma suggests that you will get what's coming to you in this life. That is not necessarily the case.
God's justice, however, states that "God will judge the secrets of men."
